I recnetly picked up a used 1860 Colt. The problem I am having with it is the cylinder stop seems to be engaging the cylinder early. Does anybody know how to fix this?
Thanks,

J.S. Colt said:Just how soon does the bolt engage? Half way through the cycle, or just before the notch lines up? Could be you need to replace the bolt. Parts may be obtained at a number of places: Cabela's, Dixie Gun Works, etc. Whatever you do, be sure to get parts specifically for your make of gun for a proper fit.
